In the code sample, the variable name "authorName" is quoted. Therefore, contrary to what the text claims, the code sample would actually print "authorName". The variable name should be unquoted to get the described behavior.

2nd code sample

The text claims that the regular expression will return files 'starting with "dev" and ending with ".tld"'. However, the regular expression used reads:

"^dev.*.tld$"

The second dot in this context means "any character", not "dot". Probably the clearest way to rewrite this would be:

"^dev.*[.]tld$"

though there are others.
